Partly off-topic, but just to clarify:

Yes, it's Macrovision, not Macromedia. My apologies to Macromedia.

And "impossible" should have been "mildly difficult for ordinary folk," as
has been explained by others.

[Does DMCA enter into "defeating" Macrovision? Well, the DVD's flag to the
player has to be digital, even though the Macrovision "protection" is
analog...so I'm certainly not going to assert flatly that DMCA is not at
all an issue, just because it shouldn't be. And I'm no lawyer]
